That Which Remains

Set in 1967, That Which Remains follows a Palestinian couple, Saeed and Atefeh, as they return to their war-torn city in search of their son, Farhan. The couple had to abandon him during the 1948 conflict, and upon their return, they discover their home has been taken over by a Polish Jewish family who is holding Farhan captive.

This film addresses the Palestinian issue from a historical perspective, making it one of the few Iranian films to do so. It features strong performances from its cast, including Salma Al-Masri, Giana Eid, and Bassam Kousa. The attention to period detail adds depth to the story, enhancing its emotional impact.
